The best reporting from inside the core power start snap good morning. Welcome Inside Politics sunday, im on a raj Behind Closed Doors last night, at his maralago club, donald trump took out his anger over his litany of criminal charges, delivering a fiery and profanity lays speech in front of big donors and gop officials. The former president compare president Bidens Administration to nazi germany, accusing democrats of code running a Gestapo Administration according to several attendees, he cursed while criticizing special counsel jack smith and other prosecutors who have charged them with committing crimes in yet another sign of how trump has come to embrace the january 6 Capitol Attack he walked up to a song performed by men imprisoned for the role in the insurrection. Now it came as trump Audition Half a dozen Potential Vp Picks in front of those big republican donors at the ritzy retreat all just hours after that Blockbuster Testimony from as longtime aide, hope hicks, in his Criminal Hush Money Trial in new york. Now for about behind the scenes, look into this weeks gathering. Were joined by cnns alayna treene, who is live with us in palm beach with some new reporting. Elena, what are you hearing . While monte youre exactly right about Donald Trumps speech yesterday. He was speaking at a Luncheon Fundraiser at his maralago club. And as you said, it was a 90 minute profanity laden speech where he cursed repeatedly im told and he did compare the Biden Administration to the gestapo while baselessly claiming that democrats are the ones behind the series of criminal indictments that he is facing. Now, i do also just want so bring you some reporting we have about the setting of this weekend. So a lot of republicans, wealthy donors, gathered here in palm beach to help raise money for the former president as part of the rncs annual ritual tree. And as you mentioned, there are a lot of special guests who were included on that list that are on Donald Trumps shortlist to become his running mate. People like doug burgum and tim scott, both former republican president ial primary opponents against him, as well as senator marco rubio and senator jd vance, as well as House Republican conference chair, elise stefanik, among others, and donald trump lavish praise on them during that speech. And maralago called them up to the stage and as you said, its kind of an audition of sorts for these potential Vice President ial contenders. Now when i talked to the Trump Campaign, they say that donald trump is still a weeks, if not months away from deciding who he wants to pick as his running mate, that decision will come closer to the Republican National convention in july. But it was a Good Opportunity for these people to brush shoulders with him and stand onstage at this big event. Now, some new reporting we also have is that at one of the events during the rnc retreat Chris Lacivita and susie wiles both Donald Trumps campaign managers, as well as tony fabrizio, had a walk through some Fundraising Figures heres including that they had raised 76. 2 million last month. And really the fundraising here was the entirety of this weekend. They really are trying to aggressively catch up to joe bidens campaign kane, who has an evergrowing war chest that really has been out of reach for the Trump Campaign. Manu all right. Im going to train in public, florida. Thank you for that report. And im joined now by cnns kristen holmes, the New York Times is called holes. And laura barronlopez, pbs newshour. Good morning on this new z warnings of news last night and maralago, kristen, you cover the Trump Campaign . For us here at cnn. You have been talking to your sources, what, what have you, what are you learning about . What happened this weekend . And your takeaway from it . Well, if theyre feeling really good about the 76. 2 million, they know that theyre not going to catch up with joe biden. That is become a reality for them and several of his advisers have briefed the former president on that. So theyre coming up with Campaign Strategies now looking you had to november as to how to do more with less. Now, one of the things that they have sat in these are his top advisers is that they feel like they have one advantage, which is that donald trump doesnt need to win over his base. They feel like right now, President Biden is still trying to win over his base, given a series of issues that voters have with the president so what theyre trying to do is look ahead to november as how to siphon off voters. But as you said, like donald trump is very focused in the now weve all heard about that 90 minute profane late and speech. Hes talking about those trials. Hes not talking about the campaign. Hes talking about how hes angry that he has to sit in court all day and to some extent, he is a great yeah, he has been frustrated. We know hes been closing his eyes. He doesnt i want to sit there for eight hours a day now. Dont think he actually wants to be out there campaigning but it definitely does want to be sitting in the courtroom exactly. Well get more to that later in this segment, but i want to get into just about the Vice President ial hopefuls is lina was reporting that about how there they were there. There were Behind Closed Doors. They came up on stage, several of them up upon your screen there . All six of them potential gop feel pick tags will see maybe theres some others on the list to, but these one of the things is that these Vice President s beat vip picks are granted, defend trump against all these criminal charges. Thats going to be one of the big things about one of these camps if they want the job which im sure any of them well, they dont have to defend im trump against his criminal charges. Thats right. Because trump really values loyalty most above Everything Else he wants. Someone who is going to be just protecting him at all costs, someone who is not going to say or distance themselves from him in any way, shape, or form. And weve seen that out of those that we had there on the screen, a lot of them appeared selling to do that. They appear willing whether its in terms of the trials or also the rhetoric that he uses on the campaign trail. And oftentimes, you know, very well, manu, that republicans will say that they didnt see a comment that he made. They say that they didnt see a truth social must be the toy, didnt see the tweet, which i expect. These ap candidates will continue to see and just dont condemn the type of rhetoric that he uses on the campaign at all either. What was remarkable about last night was just about the way that trump has gone to embracing what happened on january 6 those we talked, theres this anthem, this january 6, prisoners have been is this thing . It says basically the madman the pledge of allegiance, right . And then they play that all these rallies. And he did this in front of his donors and is gop class. And this all comes as trump is continuing to talk about Election Fraud. In fact, this is the Third Straight election cycle when she is not said that he would accept the electoral results, no matter what happens unconditionally. This is not what he said in the past the only way we can lose, in my opinion, i really mean this pennsylvania is cheating goes on. The only way were going to lose this election the election is rigged. And this is that was 2016 and 2020. And this is just last week to the walkie journal sentinel. He says, if everythings honest, ill gladly accept the results. I dont change on that if its not, you have to fight for the right of the country. Now, i mean, this all comes as the rncs chief counsel, were learning holy speeds resigned about two months after accepting his position in part because of some tension over not believing those Election Fraud issues. But trump this dawn breaks can even talking about this in front of his donors. Yeah. I think we can stipulate that donald trump, if he loses, is not going to accept the results of the election i think this is part of the problem with these Vice President ial candidates, but i havent seen any reluctance at all from them. So far to defend him and to even downplay january 6, i think jd vance has really taken on that mantle saying last week, you know that its all exaggerated. So i mean this is what trump is going to do. And i think thats tough for the people on the hill who were there on january 6, and they have to say oh, wasnt that big a deal, jd vance wasnt there. Its probably a little easier for him, but i do think its problematic for a lot of the senators whove already come out and said, im a lukewarm doors. Yeah. But they dont like talking about january of six because theres a lot of video of them running and whats going on. And it continues to come out. I want to turn to the Hope Hicks Testimony from fighting because he was one of trumps choose one of trumps longtime advisers, he went to the standard that dramatic in the hush money Criminal Case and some of the Key Takeaways is there you see on your screen about how she kept what happened in the aftermath of that access Hollywood Tape and the 2016 campaign about trump telling her about Michael Cohens payment to stormy daniels, xun trump allegedly had an affair with and tried to cover it up with those Hush Money Payments kristen, youve been covering this trial. What was your takeaway about what stood out to this week . Well, the prosecution certainly did their job with hope x. I mean, it was very clear she was composed. She was poised, she was very honest about everything that had happened and the other part of this is that shes not somebody like Michael Cohen who has an ax to grind with donald trump. They hadnt spoken for two years. That was because her testimony in front of the january 6 committee was made public. There was a lot of ice around some of the Text Messages she sent that essentially insulted the president and his orbit was very angry. But the two of them still have very much mutual admiration for each other. They both speak very highly of each other. They have a relationship that was clear when she was on the stand, she was one of the first people that was part of Donald Trumps campaign. She was in it and she was part of everything and the prosecutions job there to outline what that looked like. They did that and i was pretty powerful. In meantime, ive put the question a number of republicans about the allegations of all was all republicans are defending trump against these prosecutions. They think its unfair. They see two jira system of justice thats their argument. But what just the underlying allegations of donald trump allegedly making Hush Money Payments to cover up this. A fair and how do they feel about it . Does that conduct give you any concern i think it gives me concern is when you look at College Campuses across the country, you have a two tier justices in this country. What about the conduct his alleged conduct the former president well, again, im not going to speak to alleged activities. You want somebody again . Character to be president. You need to look back in history, all the dirt bags that weve elected president doesnt shake me. Id be more concerned if i were President Biden the underlying allegations that he paid off a porn star to keep an extra imelda fail quiet. I knew i cant answer those questions anymore. Im im looking for and thats thats former Vice President mike pences brother, but, thats gop away. It goes on the hill, but i have heard from even members who are not fans of donald trump at all that they think that this case is not a good case. Yeah. Well see well see if the actually is convicted or acquitted, or maybe a hung jury will say all right, coming up as Campus Protests continue this weekend, democrats are on edge.
